Good morning folk - wet and windy Sunday here in Dorset - what better than a cooked breakfast to start the day - but have you ever had a Welsh breakfast?
Iv changed my mind Greeno. You WILL beat an Irish breakfast. In fact, although those breakfasts had some strange ingredients (to me at least) I recon the 🏴 ones win 🏆 hands down. Great review as usual buddy 👍
Hello Greeno! Regrettably never had a Welsh breakfast, but that s something to catch up on some day. Btw I love runny yolk, being the only one among family and friends. You Brits got that right. Greets from Germany!
Guy from Swansea here, great video 👍. I’ve never actually tried the Welsh House but may check it out after that, thanks! Laverbread wise, it’s incredibly strong, so traditionally it was served on a breakfast mixed in an oat or potato cake - it’s fantastic that way. It may be sacrilege as a Welshman, but my favourite UK breakfast has to be a Scottish one.. tattie scone, haggis, square sausage along with the usual, heavy stuff but absolutely delicious!
Had a beautiful full Welsh breakfast many, many years ago at a hotel in Tenby. Had the mother of all hangovers but after the breakfast and a walk on the beach I was cured! Just love cockles and lava bread!
Thank you Greeno, now I could have eaten both of those and cleaned my plate, what lovely elevated breakfasts, well done Wales. My friend from the Army lives in Newport Gwent, so if I come over I am going to The Welsh House, hands down. Gorgeous. 🤗🤗👍👍👍👍
Fantastic presentation and that full Welsh looked spectacular. Think you need to let Gary Eats know about this place, not a mushroom in sight. Defo a green light and a 5/5 from me for that breakfast. Love cockles btw.
Oh Greeno what a surprise, and a coincidence. I've just come back from South Wales. Stayed in Pontypool to visit family in Blaenavon. And guess what. I walked into hus luving room and looked at the tv on the wall and said "Oh wow! Greeno. Do you follow him?" And yes they do. Those brekkies both looked really appetising and a good price in nice surroundings.
Haha, that’s amazing! I love stories like that. My cousin was visiting Berlin with a friend. She caught her friend watching one of my videos and asked if she subscribed to the channel. Her friend said she was a big fan and watched all the videos. Had know idea that her buddy was my cousin! Pontypool is a nice place to visit, did you go down the Big Pit (that’s in Blaenavon as I recall right?)
@GreenoEats Yes the Big Pit is in Blaenavon about 600-700 yards from my cousins home.. I went down a few tears ago with my daughter. It was fascinating, especially as both my Dad and Uncle worked many a shift there. Great story about your cousin in Berlun. The world is definitely getting smaller 😀😀
Morning Greeno from a very wet North Yorkshire today. Think i have webbed feet after yesterday! Just had my breakfast in a pub but it wasn't as good as those. They both looked superb and using Welsh produce. Definitely a green light. 5/5
It’s certainly been a little damp down here in Dorset too! I really enjoyed this Welsh breakfast, such well thought out presentation, and quality produce, but still at very reasonable pricing.
Some quality ingredients and cookery there, Greeno. I admire the presentation. I would go for the Miners' as am allergic to shellfish and crustaceans. My hubby cooks up laverbread occasionally. We eat it with free-range eggs from our local farm. A lovely vlog review. ❤
Hi Greeno! I was curious to see what a hot Welsh breakfast would look like. I feel hot English breakfasts have been reviewed to death by food vloggers now, so this was a nice change... Especially given the different inclusions. The presentation of the two meals was gorgeous! Definitely a restaurant worth visiting for sure & it all seemed very tasty & a little different. Really nice review, that all looked great! See you next time. ☺️
To be perfectly honest, yes it looks lovely, but portion size a little on the small size, and I thought the tiny amount, of black pudding is a joke. Nevertheless a superb video, and as long as it's tasty well that says a lot.
@@GreenoEats It was lovely to see a plate which wasn’t swimming in baked beans. Apart from the bacon - which the dog could have -I would give that a go. I think this is the first food vlog I’ve seen featuring Welsh food. More, please !
Looks like a nice restaurant, inside, nice and cosy. Looks very posh presented food, it's nice to see different parts of the uk, how they do their full English breakfasts, great review Greeno 👍
Hi Greeno. Glad to see you across in God's Country. I've not actually been to that restaurant as I moved up to North Wales 30 years ago. I go back on a regular basis however and will make a point of going there next time I'm down. Like you I was disappointed that there wasn't a decent portion of laverbread on the breakfast. You can only get tinned laverbread in North Wales and whilst it's great you can't beat the fresh stuff that you get in Swansea market 🙂🙂. Actually very few people seem to like it although I think that's down to how it looks rather than the taste (it's not the most aesthetically pleasing food🤣🤣). Anyway, great video Greeno and an excellent advert for Wales (other than the weather)👍👍
Having lived in South Wales for many years, I think the weather was a fair reflection hahaha!! You should definitely pop in if you're down South, the regular menu looks good too.
Don't tell anyone, but I reckon if you have an Irish breakfast, Ulster Fry, Scottish breakfast and Full English, it's more likely the Full English will be the disappointment!
I usually hate breakfast reviews - even Gary's - but your breakfast reviews are always interesting and entertaining. I think you have a talent for spotting interesting locations and menus ... Anyway, you're an excellent reviewer and content creator. Well done.
Thank you Mark, I am trying to find breakfast spots that are a little out of the ordinary, either in terms of the menu, the location, other just because they’re using local produce. Makes a difference to the usual full English videos (although I will undoubtedly end up at Pelliccis one day, it’s a rite of passage!). Thanks, as always for the kind words of support!
I was happy to watch this breakfast,as I no longer watch full English/Scottish breakfasts,seen to many nothing new to see,however I saw from the thumbnail this was something different. It looked lovely,and so nice to see it presented well,and not thrown on a plate, I have never tried laverbread,though I have seen it before looking not to nice,so this seemed better,even though you would have liked a bit more.😊
When I worked at The Vic Club in the upstairs bar, the fish guy would rock up with the small polystyrene containers of cockles, whelks, flaked crab, and other assorted pescatarian delights. An absolute cast iron guarantee to get the whirly splats! 🤣
Certainly would like to try that, can't remember the last time I had cockles! Like you said the the shell fish man used to come around the pubs with whelks, cockles, winkles and such like! Take them home and made toasted sandwiches of them, not the whelks to big, lol! Were the cockles vinegary?
These cockles weren't vinegary - just freshly cooked ones. Never heard of making a toasted sandwich of cockles - I bet as it cooked that it had an interesting aroma!!
I do myself a homemade Welsh breakfast most months, with the addition of sausages. I then portion up half and serve it for dinner with some garlic and parsley spaghetti. It's delicious!
Well as a swansea boy living in Georgia USA for the last 7 years it was good to see you visit God's country and our beautiful weather,hope you enjoy the rest of your trip in Abertawe ,all the best
@@GreenoEatswell we did at secondary school think it was a different recipe but i know we made it egg and cheese perhaps English version is different it was in the 1970s girls took cookery or as they changed it to Domestic science we learned how to run a home boys did metal work or wood work 😂
I thought this looked very impressive Greeno! Which part of South Wales did you live? I used to stay in The Village Hotel or the Premer Inn on the Waterfront in Swansea when I covered it for work, used to see Lee Trundle frequently in The Village hotel ⚽️ Top video Sir ….Smithy
@ Hey Jessi, have you had a nice weekend? No I live in a county called Worcestershire these days it’s in the midlands. I’m around 3 - 4 miles just outside of Worcester.
Raining in Wales!!! That's unusual! My brother is about 20 minutes drive from Abergavenny. I went down on the train last year in June. It rained. It rained hard. Every single day. The rainbows were numerous. We went to Cardiff to go to the museum and we couldn't get out of the car as it was such heavy rain. Eventually we went for it. We were soaked right through! I love lava bread. I have only one can left of it. Hopefully my brother will buy me some for Christmas. I had cockles, fresh not in vinegar, and lava bread on the market in Abergavenny about thirty years ago and loved it. Beautiful presentation there. Yum. Oh I am so jealous. 🙁 I would happily pay that amount. 4.9 Great!!! 👍
Living in South Wales for so long I almost developed webbed feet!! So I feel your pain arnd that trip! Both the main museum in Cardiff, and The Museum of Welsh Life on the outskirts are really good and worth a visit!
You certainly travel around testing the food food for us in different regions. Greatly appreciated - thanks Greeno. Never had a Welsh breakfast and it looks really good - different, and a lot cheaper as well.
You'll get lavabread and cockles in Swansea and surrounding area, as Penclawdd is close by. And welsh farming in west Wales also. Cardiff has traditionally been more anglicised as there is nothing there.
They were delicious Val - I would have liked a bit more laverbread just to see more what it was all about, but no complaints about the quality or price of what I was served!!
Interesting breakfast and you certainly enjoyed it.I rarely have seafood for breakfast and when i do it is either fresh oysters or fresh prawns which are both delightfull.I have also never tried cockles even when i was in the UK.Certainly a pleasant change and a 4.3 from 5
Very unusual (cockles, laverbread), but what beautiful presentations and really excellent cooking. Lots of pride showing on these plates! And very good prices, too.
Wet and windy here to in Cumbria greeno. What a lovely place. Lovely presentation. I think this is going to be a lovely breakfast lets hope it is greeno. No never had a welsh breakfast.. I would definitely have to have the cockles knocked off. Enjoy.
I grew up in Mid Wales on a farm . We had bacon wrapped in muslin hanging from the kitchen beams .At breakfast time it was broght down and carved .....mostly fat with thin streaks of meat ....tasted rancid. UGH I would never eat it but my dad loved it .
I guess we have moved on from a lot of the old traditions nowadays, and are more used to the slightly sanitised supermarket versions of everything aren’t we.
Good evening Greeno, what a nice and silent place 😊 Would love to visit Wales one day, and would listen to the welsh language , so beautiful ❤ Welsh breakfast is really new to me, did not know is so different in all over UK. But well, its the same in Germany, it is different to eat in the south or west. Your breakfast looks really delish❤
Hi Jessi - hope you have had a great Sunday! Wales is a very interesting place to visit, lots of history - just bring a rain coat!! You are right about the regional variations, it's the same in every country really I guess!
@GreenoEats super nice sunday, Greeno, made a big pot of paprika goulash for the whole family and we have had a yummie time ☺ The weather here is strange, 2 days ago, I needed to take the ice from my cars window and today it is 18 degrees , very odd, would prefer the welsh rain 😂
@jessicanippes1730 strange here too, Thursday it snowed. Yesterday and today have been around 15 degrees but with rain and very strong winds. Goulash sounds good Jessi!!
I used to live in (allegedly) the highest village in Wales, a Welsh speaking place up a mountain outside Wrexham with absolutely no vowels in the name called Bwlchgwyn. A Welsh breakfast in the pub there was sausage, egg and chips. This all looks amazing, although the good folks of Cymru can keep the cockles and the laverbread! Although to be fair cockles, fresh not in venegar, are good in a creamy seafood pasta sauce. Great review as usual and good to see you enjoying the food so much!
The Welsh breakfast looked classy, I was quite interested because i wondered how different it would be to the English breakfast. Looks impressive even though you said it wasn't traditional.thanks Greeno 🐸
That looked amazing. I agree, if all of it was tasty should be a 5 and with a little lacking in quantity for one thing, a .1 off. Looks like miserable weather, ugh. Had some awful rainy days here in Ireland too. Look forward to the next vid.
@ It reminded me of the little fishmonger shack on the way down to the beach, my daughter,a toddler at the time,sat in her buggy and ate an enormous bag of cockles, would be cool to see you there,although no recommendations I’m afraid x great vlog as always 😊
I love cockles and laverbread. Work well with sausages and bacon or these days for me veggie sausages. Best mixed with oats and fried in little patties. I like laverbread done that way and eaten with ketchup and bread and butter Croeso eto i Gymru! Ever had dulse? Come up the Western Valley and try stuffing pattie and chips! Abertyleri's are the best...
That looks absolutely stunning. You Brits have delicacies for breakfast while the rest of us settle with toast and jam. Love your video’s man, my only critique would be little less talk, bit more picture
We made welsh breakfast for 40 years all the ingredients were there, though as I suspect this venue does, we offered the cockles and laverbread as an optional because people didn;t know what to expect. They were missing out if they didn;t have the full ingredients
You are so right , I moved down to South Wales from Sufffolk and it's pretty much rained every day and totally fed up with it. I can't get out much to being disabled that's why I watch yours and Gary's videos. Take care for you and your family
When younger and a quite heavy boozer, and when all restraint had abandoned me, I used to buy a bag of salt and vinegar crisps, along with a small jar of cockles, drain them and mix with the crisps in the bag, then repeat shortly afterwards. Those cockles were in acetic acid and from Parsons Pickles in Burry Port, where my mother was an office worker for over 30 years. I'm far from skint but £20 for one meal is a bit too much. Last time I was in Swansea, Witherspoons filled me to bursting point for a fiver with their large breakfast fryup, but I do understand your reasons for diversification here. £20 to £30 feeds me for a full week, from a well known Kraut emporium that begins with the letter L. Best regards from Burry Port.
Hi Michael - thanks very much for your comment - I used to do similar to you, but using a pickled egg rather than cockles! Rgerading you comment on the pricing, bear in mind I ordered 2 plates 9just to try different things you understand haha!) - the Miner's breakfast with a pot of tea would be less than £10, and feels a bit more of a treat than a Spoons breakfast to be fair :-)
@@GreenoEats Yes, it's good to spoil oneself from time to time I suppose. I guess I've become really miserly since reaching OAP status ! Still have the car and a 1000cc motorbike for summertime indulgences though. All the best to you.
That looked delicious well worth the money! I actually prefer my eggs like that as instead of the yolk running all over the plate and going cold you can kinda scoop the good softness on to your fork 😀
Autumn, winter, spring and much of summer haha - I jest of course, but being an island nation we have our share of rain - probably more so in Spring and Autumn
Hi greeno. It was fantastic to see you in South Wales. My dad was from Swansea and when I was a wee girl we lived in Tenby. As soon as I saw theres lovely in the title I knew you'd be in Wales. I miss my dad's Welsh accent ! This was a great video as always. By the way, my dad loved lava bread and my aunty used to send it up to Scotland for us. I hated it but I used to force myself because I didn't want to hurt my dad's feelings😂. That breakfast looked yummy. Thanks again for a brilliant review as always.😊
Glad to have brought back some happy memories for you! I shall have to venture down to Tenby one day on the channel, I always used to enjoy visiting when I lived in South Wales!
I totally agree ex value, presentation and surprisingly different just short on the bread. Certainly if i am ever in Swansea i know exactly where to go for breakfast!😅😊
Careful with the Welsh jokes! 🤣 I'm a Swansea boy, originally. Gower coast to be precise. We'd have bacon, cockles and lava bread for our tea, not much of leap i suppose, I always keep lava bread in my freezer. Not enough of it on the breakfast. Great video.
Are you? I used to joke that the toll on the bridge should have been the other way, as it would have stopped so many Welsh coming into England 🤣🤣🤣 If you ever head back up toward your homeland I really recommend this place, it was great!
Enjoyed this video. Never had a Welsh Breakfast, but it sounds like a real treat. Any particular order combination we should eat it , if any particular order. If we could only smell it. All the best my friend 👍👍 from Jim and Harriet
Hopefully will find a few venues that do it tourism has changed things a lot I'm ten minutes from the city if ur here would love to meet you, I'm particularly disabled legs wise but my lovely partner Lorraine can get me to the city in 10 to 15 minutes .
Good morning folk - wet and windy Sunday here in Dorset - what better than a cooked breakfast to start the day - but have you ever had a Welsh breakfast?
A little unusual perhaps - but by golly it was delicious!!
More Welsh reviews please Greeno! 😊🏴
Yes!!!!
Every weekend,
@@davidjones6470 Good man!!
Certainly beats eating muesli for breakfast.😂😂
Love The Welsh House... Stunning food. Highly recommend.
I certainly hope to visit again for either lunch or dinner service some time!
That Welsh breakfast looked fabulous. Given that I live quite nearby, I'll have to give it a go!
Go for it! It was delicious. Tell them you saw my video if you do go 😉
@@GreenoEats Will do, Greeno!
The presentation alone tempted me to get in my car and drive to Swansea 👍
It was very nicely presented wasn't it, and equally as delicious!
@GreenoEats you need more subscribers ffs.
@@billsalt2206 Hopefully they will find me eventually!!
Quality local ingredients well prepared and presented can't beat it.
Absolutely right - a cracker of a place!
I love Lava bread, looked a bit thinly spread on there but still a good looking breakfast.
Yes, could have done with a but mire of the seaweed, but the whole thing was very tasty!
Hi Greeno, that was a very interesting breakfast , it looked good though :)
Yes, this was really very tasty indeed!
Amazing place and food Greeno and the first Welsh breakfast I have seen. I like the elevated presentation and details. Have a superb Sunday 🤓🥩🥂
It truly was fabulous James, well worth a visit should you ever be in that part of the world!
Iv changed my mind Greeno. You WILL beat an Irish breakfast. In fact, although those breakfasts had some strange ingredients (to me at least) I recon the 🏴 ones win 🏆 hands down. Great review as usual buddy 👍
Thank you sir! Wow, I managed to change your mind huh, get on the ferry and head to South Wales 🙂
Hello Greeno! Regrettably never had a Welsh breakfast, but that s something to catch up on some day. Btw I love runny yolk, being the only one among family and friends. You Brits got that right. Greets from Germany!
You probably have to travel to Wales to get one, not widely available anywhere else.
That’s a beautiful looking place!
It was fab (inside, in the warm, out of the sleet!!)
Great to see you trying some Welsh grub Greano. I rarely see any videos of Wales. 🏴
Glad you enjoyed it. I do plan to film up there again next year too.
Thats looks like fantastic value. Simple ingredients treated with respect.
It absolutely was great value Robin - delicious, pretty on the plate - what's not to like!!
It looks like a yummy breakfast❤
it certainly was!
Very impressed with this place.
Great find Greeno.
Yes, if you're ever in South Wales it's worth a look - there are 4 of them around, not just in Swansea!!
Guy from Swansea here, great video 👍. I’ve never actually tried the Welsh House but may check it out after that, thanks! Laverbread wise, it’s incredibly strong, so traditionally it was served on a breakfast mixed in an oat or potato cake - it’s fantastic that way. It may be sacrilege as a Welshman, but my favourite UK breakfast has to be a Scottish one.. tattie scone, haggis, square sausage along with the usual, heavy stuff but absolutely delicious!

Another great video today❤

Had a beautiful full Welsh breakfast many, many years ago at a hotel in Tenby. Had the mother of all hangovers but after the breakfast and a walk on the beach I was cured! Just love cockles and lava bread!
I think the cockles and laverbread on a Ful Wlesh would really be kill or cure with a hangover!
Thank you Greeno, now I could have eaten both of those and cleaned my plate, what lovely elevated breakfasts, well done Wales. My friend from the Army lives in Newport Gwent, so if I come over I am going to The Welsh House, hands down. Gorgeous. 🤗🤗👍👍👍👍
Apparently they do have a location in Cardiff, so probably no more than 20 mins from your friend - well worth checking out!
@@GreenoEats Thank you for the heads up.
Great review,thoroughly enjoyable!
Thanks Pete, much appreciated!
Never heard of a Welsh breakfast before. They both looked great and price wise good value. Cheers xx
I like the way it's got real points of difference to the regional variations of the Full English.
Fantastic presentation and that full Welsh looked spectacular.
Think you need to let Gary Eats know about this place, not a mushroom in sight.
Defo a green light and a 5/5 from me for that breakfast. Love cockles btw.
Yes, the lack of mushroom is a real plus haha!

I'd certainly ike to go back one day at a lunch or dinner service to try more of their Welsh offerings!!
Thoroughly enjoyable 😊👍
It absolutely was Nigel - glad you enjoyed the video!!
Good old south Wales, 😊

You certainly travel around testing the food food for us in different regions. Greatly appreciated - thanks Greeno. Never had a Welsh breakfast and it looks really good - different, and a lot cheaper as well.
I do enjoy getting around and trying different things - this was definitely worth the trip!!
You got the Christmas food videos planned Greeno?
Got a few coming up - already did the M+S one - one coming out tomorrow too :-)
@@GreenoEats Look forward to them!
When I’m travelling in Wales, I always try to find a Welsh breakfast. Having the laverbread and cockles is well lush!!
It’s a nice change, much more difference to the Welsh breakfast than the other regional variations
You'll get lavabread and cockles in Swansea and surrounding area, as Penclawdd is close by. And welsh farming in west Wales also.
Cardiff has traditionally been more anglicised as there is nothing there.
Yes, that has always tended to be my experience.
Are you sure you can't get laverbread and cockles in Cardiff?
I must have dreamt that I bought some last week.😁
@@richardbrown8099 Where did you get them? From a shop, or as part of a breakfast in a cafe / restaurant?
Cardiff market fish counter Greeno.
I reckon it will get the green light after 10 minutes viewing. Greeno have you ever done the Isle of Wight? Scott Boscombe Bournemouth.
I haven't been to the Isle of Wight in years, something to think about for next year certainly!!
When you said lava bread I thought urgh but they both looked great and I would have happily have eaten both great review
They were delicious Val - I would have liked a bit more laverbread just to see more what it was all about, but no complaints about the quality or price of what I was served!!
Can’t fault a full welsh breakfast. Don’t have them often but do love them. Didn’t realise the welsh house had them so I’ll be popping down.
It’s well worth popping in, I hope you’ll enjoy it😀
Thank you for this video . I will look out for this my friends and I will give it a go DIOLCH 🏴 .
Croeso!!
Interesting breakfast and you certainly enjoyed it.I rarely have seafood for breakfast and when i do it is either fresh oysters or fresh prawns which are both delightfull.I have also never tried cockles even when i was in the UK.Certainly a pleasant change and a 4.3 from 5
Oysters for breakfast, get you :-) I like smoked fish for breakfast, a kedgeree for example is great, or smoked salmon with eggs.
Very unusual (cockles, laverbread), but what beautiful presentations and really excellent cooking. Lots of pride showing on these plates! And very good prices, too.
Yes, good cookery with great ingredients - very enjoyable and inexpensive too!!
Wet and windy here to in Cumbria greeno.
What a lovely place.
Lovely presentation.
I think this is going to be a lovely breakfast lets hope it is greeno.
No never had a welsh breakfast..
I would definitely have to have the cockles knocked off.
Enjoy.
The cockles were actually excellent, and really added to the dish Ann :-)
Great video, and great to see something other than the typical English breakfast you are so famous for lol. Great work mate 👍🏻
I enjoyed this, and yes it did make a change from the full English 🙂
Gary Eats had a full Scottish Breakfast in a Canadian restaurant in Scotland. I love the sound of cockles and lava bread
He did, and wasn't very happy with it was he. Should have gone to Swansea instead!!
Good Sunday Morning Greeno. Yes, nothing beats a hot cup of tea on a cold chilly morning. Never having a Welsh breakfast, everything looks lovely.👍👍
I hope you have a great Sunday ahead Patrick - get a cup of tea going :-)
I grew up in Mid Wales on a farm . We had bacon wrapped in muslin hanging from the kitchen beams .At breakfast time it was broght down and carved .....mostly fat with thin streaks of meat ....tasted rancid. UGH
I would never eat it but my dad loved it .
I guess we have moved on from a lot of the old traditions nowadays, and are more used to the slightly sanitised supermarket versions of everything aren’t we.
HI thank you thank you I only live over a hill or two from Swansea definitely on my list I love that city/ town. 👍👍👌👌😊😊
Definitely worth trying out - great quality and not expensive!
Good evening Greeno, what a nice and silent place 😊 Would love to visit Wales one day, and would listen to the welsh language , so beautiful ❤ Welsh breakfast is really new to me, did not know is so different in all over UK. But well, its the same in Germany, it is different to eat in the south or west. Your breakfast looks really delish❤
Hi Jessi - hope you have had a great Sunday! Wales is a very interesting place to visit, lots of history - just bring a rain coat!! You are right about the regional variations, it's the same in every country really I guess!
@GreenoEats super nice sunday, Greeno, made a big pot of paprika goulash for the whole family and we have had a yummie time ☺ The weather here is strange, 2 days ago, I needed to take the ice from my cars window and today it is 18 degrees , very odd, would prefer the welsh rain 😂
@jessicanippes1730 strange here too, Thursday it snowed. Yesterday and today have been around 15 degrees but with rain and very strong winds. Goulash sounds good Jessi!!
Dyna hyfryd! I need to go back to Swansea. I miss the bay and Mumbles. The food looked exceptional.
Diolch! It's a fab part of the world (well without the wind and sleet anyway!)
Love seeing my hometown!! Hope you had time for a whip round the Market 😍😍
Sadly not this time, but hopefully I can make more of a longer trip next time!
I used to live in (allegedly) the highest village in Wales, a Welsh speaking place up a mountain outside Wrexham with absolutely no vowels in the name called Bwlchgwyn. A Welsh breakfast in the pub there was sausage, egg and chips. This all looks amazing, although the good folks of Cymru can keep the cockles and the laverbread! Although to be fair cockles, fresh not in venegar, are good in a creamy seafood pasta sauce. Great review as usual and good to see you enjoying the food so much!
Welsh scrabble must be intereting. 100 letter tiles and 90 of them are an L or a W !!
@@GreenoEats Llywllywll!
The Welsh breakfast looked classy, I was quite interested because i wondered how different it would be to the English breakfast. Looks impressive even though you said it wasn't traditional.thanks Greeno 🐸
It's so good!
That looked amazing. I agree, if all of it was tasty should be a 5 and with a little lacking in quantity for one thing, a .1 off. Looks like miserable weather, ugh. Had some awful rainy days here in Ireland too. Look forward to the next vid.
I bet that Storm Bert battered Ireland before making it's way over here!
@@GreenoEats Yep 💦
This vid made me think of Lulworth, have you reviewed there ?
I've not reviewed anything there as yet - anything you'd recommend?
@ It reminded me of the little fishmonger shack on the way down to the beach, my daughter,a toddler at the time,sat in her buggy and ate an enormous bag of cockles, would be cool to see you there,although no recommendations I’m afraid x great vlog as always 😊
Looked very decent did that. Great review, nice and relaxed.
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it!
I love cockles and laverbread. Work well with sausages and bacon or these days for me veggie sausages. Best mixed with oats and fried in little patties. I like laverbread done that way and eaten with ketchup and bread and butter Croeso eto i Gymru! Ever had dulse? Come up the Western Valley and try stuffing pattie and chips! Abertyleri's are the best...
Next time I will find a more tradition Welsh breakfast experience. And yes, the stuffing patty does sound good !!
Thank you greeno 😊😊
You're welcome 😊
That looks absolutely stunning. You Brits have delicacies for breakfast while the rest of us settle with toast and jam. Love your video’s man, my only critique would be little less talk, bit more picture
It was great. Thanks for the feedback too - I am always learning, so constructive criticism is appreciated!
We made welsh breakfast for 40 years all the ingredients were there, though as I suspect this venue does, we offered the cockles and laverbread as an optional because people didn;t know what to expect. They were missing out if they didn;t have the full ingredients
The cockles really worked! And you're probably not going to get them much fresher than having them in Swansea right!
Wow Greeno that was different, wouldn't mind trying an evening meal at that place, the food looked lovely.....
Yes, I will definitely return at some point and try lunch or dinner!!
You are so right , I moved down to South Wales from Sufffolk and it's pretty much rained every day and totally fed up with it. I can't get out much to being disabled that's why I watch yours and Gary's videos. Take care for you and your family
I am aware of the irony of this video coming out the day Storm Bert is still battering Dorset making it wet and wild outside here too!
From full sun to full rain 😢
What a pleasure to see no Hash browns 😂😂😂😂😂!!!!
Absolutely!!
The menu included hash browns on many of the other breakfast options just as numerous low end establishments have done since the 1980s.
@@AlexinWales I meant on Greenos breakfasts!!!!!!
Plenty of laverbread and cockles in Cardiff market.
Are there? Didn't know that!
@@GreenoEats😂👍
Absolute bargain, looked great, Defiantly a 5/5 Greeno
Agreed - well apart from the 0.1 I took off for the lack of laverbread!!
Do you like a jar of pickeled cockles.they are great😊
I do, nice little treat with fish and chips sometimes, good dash of pepper on them 🙂
Try Ulster Fry in Belfast. 5 of 5 and not changing looks tasty going by your reaction.
I do plan to get to Northern Ireland in the New Year :-)
@@GreenoEats The few times that I was there I tried food there and it was not far from Castle-court shopping centre.
When you explain it, the cockles make sense now. Both dishes looked good.
Yes, and Swansea is famed for the cockles in Swansea Bay - and around much of the Welsh coastline I believe they are widely found. Blooming tasty!
When younger and a quite heavy boozer, and when all restraint had abandoned me, I used to buy a bag of salt and vinegar crisps, along with a small jar of cockles, drain them and mix with the crisps in the bag, then repeat shortly afterwards. Those cockles were in acetic acid and from Parsons Pickles in Burry Port, where my mother was an office worker for over 30 years. I'm far from skint but £20 for one meal is a bit too much. Last time I was in Swansea, Witherspoons filled me to bursting point for a fiver with their large breakfast fryup, but I do understand your reasons for diversification here. £20 to £30 feeds me for a full week, from a well known Kraut emporium that begins with the letter L.
Best regards from Burry Port.
Hi Michael - thanks very much for your comment - I used to do similar to you, but using a pickled egg rather than cockles!
Rgerading you comment on the pricing, bear in mind I ordered 2 plates 9just to try different things you understand haha!) - the Miner's breakfast with a pot of tea would be less than £10, and feels a bit more of a treat than a Spoons breakfast to be fair :-)
@@GreenoEats Yes, it's good to spoil oneself from time to time I suppose. I guess I've become really miserly since reaching OAP status ! Still have the car and a 1000cc motorbike for summertime indulgences though.
All the best to you.
From Taco Hell to Welsh heaven 😅 looks awesome 👍👊
Quite the contrast right, such is the life of the food reviewer!
That looked delicious well worth the money! I actually prefer my eggs like that as instead of the yolk running all over the plate and going cold you can kinda scoop the good softness on to your fork 😀
2 very nice dishes and a pot of tea for under £20, exceptional right!!
looked delish
It really was!
Great to see you in wales, I’m in south east wales
I used to live in Magor for a spell - enjoyed my time there!!
@@GreenoEats amazing not too far I’m in newbridge
Do you have a rainy season there?
Autumn, winter, spring and much of summer haha - I jest of course, but being an island nation we have our share of rain - probably more so in Spring and Autumn
@ interesting! In Florida the summer is our rainy season and winter is our dry season. Thanks for being one of the best parts of my day!
Looks way better than Gary's 'Scottish breakfast' the other day.
That’s true!
Missed some amazing Chinese food in Swansea definitely worth checking out sichuan savour on walters rd is brilliant
Thanks for the tip - I will check it out!
Lava bread is delicious when its cooked in the bacon fat....also its full of iron and minerals and vitamins.
Yeah, it's probably a "superfood" isn't it?
Hi greeno. It was fantastic to see you in South Wales. My dad was from Swansea and when I was a wee girl we lived in Tenby. As soon as I saw theres lovely in the title I knew you'd be in Wales. I miss my dad's Welsh accent ! This was a great video as always. By the way, my dad loved lava bread and my aunty used to send it up to Scotland for us. I hated it but I used to force myself because I didn't want to hurt my dad's feelings😂. That breakfast looked yummy. Thanks again for a brilliant review as always.😊
Glad to have brought back some happy memories for you! I shall have to venture down to Tenby one day on the channel, I always used to enjoy visiting when I lived in South Wales!
Omg so well presented look's delicious, value for money when you get great food, enjoy ❤. + I have never tried cockels they look good 👍
it was a verygood breakfast at a very fair price indeed Maureen!
I totally agree ex value, presentation and surprisingly different just short on the bread. Certainly if i am ever in Swansea i know exactly where to go for breakfast!😅😊
No bread, although I guess the rarebit is on bread isn't it - overall an excellent, and great value breakfast!
Careful with the Welsh jokes! 🤣 I'm a Swansea boy, originally. Gower coast to be precise. We'd have bacon, cockles and lava bread for our tea, not much of leap i suppose, I always keep lava bread in my freezer. Not enough of it on the breakfast. Great video.
Are you? I used to joke that the toll on the bridge should have been the other way, as it would have stopped so many Welsh coming into England 🤣🤣🤣 If you ever head back up toward your homeland I really recommend this place, it was great!
Ian, 3 Cliffs Bay, actually. Looked lovely.
If you ever go back, try the indoor permanent market for lava bread.
Enjoyed this video. Never had a Welsh Breakfast, but it sounds like a real treat. Any particular order combination we should eat it , if any particular order. If we could only smell it.
All the best my friend 👍👍 from Jim and Harriet
No particular order - just as you please - it was very good indeed!! Thanks, as always, for the positive words!!
Great report, but I agree, always mare laverbread!!
Thanks, although being in Cardiff, surely you must be cursing that I went to Swansea!
@@GreenoEats Could have been worse, you could have gone to Newport!!!
Just saw your video very good greeno as always
Thanks Brian, I appreciate that!
Yeah Greeno liked the breakfast in Wales nice change as you say it changes wherever you go in U.K Paul Belfast 😊
It does indeed - hopefully I get to try an Ulster Fry before too long!
Hopefully will find a few venues that do it tourism has changed things a lot I'm ten minutes from the city if ur here would love to meet you, I'm particularly disabled legs wise but my lovely partner Lorraine can get me to the city in 10 to 15 minutes .
